Venice is sinking and the sea is rising!
This main square in Venice floods almost 300 days a year on average. It's a big problem, as it's affecting the buildings and the underground structures. There are some days when the spot where Donna is standing is almost waist deep.

The biggest attractions in this square are the 10,000 pigeons so if the bird flu hits, Venice will be empty. I did not buy birdseed (corn) and sprinkle it on my navel or shoulder like everyone under the age of 19 did. Pigeons tickle their feeder and the kids giggle and freak out. They are cuter than the gondoliers who should enforce some upper age limit or body weight. Gondoliers often are pudgy and grumpy.... or singing out of tune! The tradition will die soon if this continues.
